…health and beauty retailer. In that deployment in the Netherlands, more than a dozen robots from IAM Robotics will manage about 50% of the facility’s e-commerce picking, according to Galluzzo. Recently, I asked Galluzzo about that evolution. He told me that at the time of the company’s founding, he was working on a project to do autonomous manipulation for DARPA – think a robot that would combine the mobility of an AMR with the picking capability of a robotic arm. “I was excited about the commercialization prospects for the technology and started thinking about simple material handling,” he recalled. Around…

…with A.S. Watson Group to deploy a fleet of Swift™ robots at its Benelux e-commerce fulfillment center in the Netherlands. We’re also opening a state-of-the-art headquarters and Showcase Innovation Center in Pittsburgh, where we’ll showcase our solutions and research. Q: Will robots ever take over the workplace? A: Not now and not in the foreseeable future. However, robots are playing an increasingly indispensable role in the supply chain to keep companies competitive, growing, and hiring. Robots can help increase productivity in distribution and fulfillment centers by automating mundane, repetitive tasks, freeing up human workers to focus on more advanced tasks.

…year's winner of the Design Challenge, K3D from the Netherlands, together with Hitech Bihca, submitting a joint redesign of a laser welding head. By 3D printing the laser welding head, multiple issues in the production environment were solved. This results in lower downtime, better welds, no damage to the laser or products and a higher productivity. Other Finalists In the student category this year is a medical application by Younes Chahid from BiomimeticAM with the Hip Implant Stem Design, from the University of Huddersfield (UK). With this redesign of the hip implant stem, issues with implant revision surgeries and bone…
